Outing is for June 1st, 2024. Weather was high pressure gusting winds. Air temps in the upper 60s and low 70s. Mostly sunny. Water clarity of over 12 feet as always on this lake. We tried some outside weedlines, drop off etc. Found largemouth and some smallies up shallow with some signs of the spawn, but most fish seemed to still be cruising, with a few fish found on bed. Largies were cruising up shallow, smallies cruising more of the deeper 8 to 12 foot zone. Had action on walking and popping baits up shallow and some action on a jackhammer. Didn't have much luck out deeper trying a drop shot. Overall a good day of fishing. Tried walleye later in the evening with no luck on minnows on a midlake hump.

Had a quick (2 hour) walleye trip with the family on June 20th. Caught 3 (19, 22, 23) with three missed. They were quick striking. Your bobber went down in the 1st 30 seconds or it didn't go down at all. Worked the wind blown side of the humps with a 1/16th jig and leech. Kids had fund on our short trip out.
